Hans, looks like reading the part .105 definition of control operator, If I
operate W4AAW remotely and Mike W4AAW designates me as control op, I'm then
both the station operator and the control op, so I can enter SO class. If he
doesn't designate me as such, he is the control op - then it would have to be
multi-op per new ARRL rule definition. With the new wording, hard to figure
out the spirit or the intent.

Subject: Re: [CQ-Contest] ARRL Rule Change for Remote Ops - Always Multi-op?
John,
I think the key word is “acts”.
If the remote operator completely controls the station then the on-site
presence of another (non-participating) licensee at the station isn’t germane.
However, if the on-site person acts as a participant in the operation (adjusts
equipment, switches antennas, etc) then it would (from my view) be a multiple
operator effort.
If the mere presence of another licensee on-site makes you multi-op, then I’ll
have to send K0CKB (my XYL) to a hotel during every contest that I want to
single-op.

Bart - the wording of the rule change for remote operations ("If another
operator acts as the on-site control operator of the remote station you are
using, the entry must be submitted in a multioperator category") implies that
there is no such thing as a single-op remote entry.
How does the control-op issue compare to a physical guest op, where the station
owner is still physically present during the contest? Should such guest
operations be considered multi-op as well? If the issue is that the local
control op *might* be required to take some action, the same is true of the
station owner with a physically present guest op.
